REVIEW for LUCKY by JM Darhower


WTF.. I need more... That little tease of Lucky, left me with a huge hangover that I can't recover from!!  Please keep in mind when you read this collection of stories, they are that... eighteen short stories. When reading LUCKY, it was basically an opening to a a full length novel that is to come. 

In this story, we are introduced to two characters, Maddalena and her mystery man... LUCKY.  Maddalena's life has always been mapped out. She has always had to conform to the expectations of her father. 

Maddalena has one night. One night to herself, one night to be herself. She ends up in a hole in a wall bar, where she throws caution in the wind and meets a mystery man. A man that she doesn't want to know his name. If she knows his name, it will make everything real. Just for tonight, she wants to live a fantasy. A fantasy that she gets to make the decisions. A night where she can forget about what her future holds. A future where she will be in a loveless relationship. 

Was it luck that she stumbled upon this man? Could she lose herself in this man tonight? Could he make her forget what what tomorrow brings? 

After a night of fun, she never expected what was to come the next day. I know I wasn't. I was completely shocked..  Like jaw dropping shocked. 

I cannot wait for the full novel to come from this story. As always, JM Darhower is amazing and draws the readers in and leaves us wanting more. I highly recommend you one clicking this set of stories. I plan on reading the others with the hopes of falling in love with some new talented authors.
